Lately it is has been really hot and humid and I've still been managing my walks and runs i combine them so I don't get heat exhaustion. So heres the question since its hot and humid do you necessarilly (sp?) lose more calories. Someone told me you loose them in double to try and make up for the heat but I didn't know. I have a HRM in the mail so until then whats your opinion!

I dont think you would unless somehow your HR increased due to this.0

I use my HRM and haven't noticed a difference.
And it was 100% humidity here yesterday when I went for my walk.0 -
Yeah, you wouldn't burn more calories. My husband used to think that. It's a common myth I think.0

Sure does FEEL like we do, though, don't it? :laugh:0

I don;t think the weather effects your heart rate too much, but I have heard that for every degree you body heat is increased your metabolism works better. Could be just a rumor I heard though.0

No caloric burn difference but you may lose more weight if you exercise in hot humid weather, more than likely that is due to the extra water sweated out, which you will put back on within a day or of eating and drinking as you normally would.0
